Have you seen it all on the sidelines? Cheered the wins. Felt the losses. Sat through missed selections. Heard the “I don’t want to go anymore.” 

If you’re an amateur athlete, a coach, a parent, or a volunteer — this new season of Sportish is for you. 

All the Opening Ceremony vibes, including Libby's last Mariah reference point (R&B Fridays). Of course we watched Lindsey Vonn and had thoughts on her 41 year old Olympic campaign. And we give a shout out to a VERY deserving Mid Week Hall Of Fame. Come join us!  

Libby has had the most awkward interaction with an international cricket star and we've nearly died. Georgie's become a sports reporter on the sidelines of softball, Libby has thoughts on Coco Gauff and just how special is a winter or summer Olympics and Paralympics (just a bit more than your regular football season thank you very much!). Tune in! 

Sporties! We are back and do we have CHATS for you. Are there 2 many influencers at the tennis? Should Netflix be encouraging a man to scale a skyscrapper without a rope? And how do we feel about the new Scotty James documentary on Netflix. Rest assured, we are refreshed, we are ready for the kids to go back to school and WE HAVE THOUGHTS. 

We've all been the worst of on a team (yes, even our resident Olympian). And through that process, we learnt oh so much. Here's a snippet from a chat we had a couple of years ago with our non-sporty mate, Rebecca Sparrow, all about what we learnt when we found ourselves to be the worst on a team.

We hear it so often - where are kids supposed to go when they just want to the play sport for fun? Once you get to 18+, there are a HUGE amount of social sport opportunities. But well before that, once the Auskicks and the Net Set Go stops, and the grading begins, where are kids who aren't competitive meant to play? This is a chat we had with tween and teen educator and author Rebecca Sparrow a couple of years ago about the need for kids to have social sport options. 

Some Saturdays you may be on the sidelines of kids sport and wonder if you've accidentally turned up to the AFL Grand Final. Or the Super Netball GF. Or even game 5 of the Ashes. Because the level of parent involvement is just, well, INTENSE. Be it yelling, taunting, or even having a crack at the ref, parent behaviour is a real issue in kids sport. This is part of a chat we had with tween and teen educator and author Rebecca Sparrow, about the sidelines of kids sport and how we can all make little changes that make a big difference. 

It's Christmas holidays and while we may not know what day it is we certainly know this - as one year closes we ALWAYS start thinking about what next year might bring. And central to that is the how of getting things done. Be it sport, exercise or movement (or anything else for that matter!) understanding how motivation works is crucial. We hope you enjoy this chat we had with Rebecca Sparrow from a couple of years ago - between the 3 us of we have elite, community and reluctant sports particpation all covered!  

The McLaren Team has lost their minds and we are wondering whether Max is actually the 3rd Papaya Driver. Paralympic swimming superstar Rowan Crothers joins us to talk about the upcoming social media ban PLUS Georgie revisits her softball spirital home and Libby is in her happy place after the 3rd week of the Sportish Swimming Club. 

We don't know how to feel about the hot hot mess that is the Sky Sports Halo TikTok account - definitely giving "pink it and shrink it vibes" but is everyone also just a bit angry? Former Aussie Diamond and Queensland Firebird Gretel Bueta joins us to talk about the hottest new netball comp - Fire5 - happening on the Gold Coast this weekend. Plus we went for a 2km swim last Friday and have now we've decided that you guys should join us! 

We are DEEP in all the sporting analogies and wisdom of Brené Brown, following the release of her new book Strong Ground and honestly, Libby won't stop talking about it. Georgie's got thoughts on the new football comedy Chad Powers (it's definitely NOT Ted Lasso, to be clear) and we chat about how on earth you can do exercise with some many children and so little time. Come join us!

Kids in water polo are playing in multiple teams, multiple age groups and multiple locations in one weekend - is it too much? We don't know much about water polo, but we certainly know someone who does! This week we welcome to the Sportish studio the coach of the Australian Women's Water Polo Team (The Stingers) and Olympian, Bec Rippon. 

Post the World Athletics Championships held in Tokyo in September, we unpack why the Swedish pole vaulter, Armand Duplantis is literally breaking world records 1cm at time. Two quick things became four quick things and honestly, WE'LL ALLOW IT because women's sport is absolutely on FIRE this week. We chat about the retirement of Ariarne Titmus, and wrap up with all the great sporting documentaries currently available on iView - a whole host of Australian Stories and a cracking 3 part documentary by Tony Armstrong on racism. Join us! 

Who on earth are these people dressed in yellow, dancing to music and playing...baseball? This week's episode of Sportish is a Sports Short (yes, it's back!) where we update you on the Banana brand as it stands today, and bring back a clip from our first chat about it in September 2023. Tune in! 

While we were on holidays Brisbane became the Australian epicentre of sport and Libby is suggesting that it all started with a swimming gold medal back 16 years ago? Stay with us. Meanwhile, it feels like McLaren's Papaya rules have got a little out of hand and we are very concerned that it's distracting to Oscar (a bit of ssshhh please for our Driver's Championship contender)! And after last week's Four Corners deep dive into gambling in Australia, Georgie discusses how betting language unexpectedly surfaced in her own home. Come take a listen! 

Given it's school holidays (or nearly for some) we're bringing you a chat with the brilliant Carla Salmon - parent, high school english teacher and now author of "We Saw What You Started". A mystery set in a little coastal town surf club, We Saw What You Started is MEANT to be for teens but actually, Georgie found herself sneaking off from her family to read the next chapter. This story absolutely takes a look a life through the lens of sport. Come catch up with us and learn a bit about reading in the meantime... 

Crunch time at the Women's Rugby World Cup! We’re sitting down with former Aussie 7 and current NRLW player, Dominque du Toit, to get her take on all the action, both on the pitch and behind the scenes (Ilona, pretty bows, lack of press coverage - the works). We'll also tackle Libby's two quick sports things for the week and chat about some incredible new research: playing after-school sports can make girls 50% more likely to get a top job later in life. We're here for it!

Another week, another situation where a football club forgets that they have an important role in society that goes beyond the game. It's exhausting to watch and we can only imagine what it must be like for our marginalised communities. An old favourite, Two Quick Things, makes a return so that Libby can shoehorn in a bit more car and cycling content, and we are PUMPED to introduce our first kids correspondent, 12 year old Ash from Northern NSW who is basically ready to become an NRL commentator and gives us his expert opinion on the upcoming NRL Finals. Join us!!! 

The countdown is on! With the Winter Olympics in Italy just over 6 months away, we're getting into the Games spirit. This week, we're joined by Australian Olympic curler and bona fide legend, Tahli Gill. She's here to talk all things brooms, rocks, and life on the ice, from what it's like to be an athlete in a sport you've probably never seen in person, to travelling to another country for national trials....

We couldn't help ourselves but dive into the Serena Williams debate to do with weight loss injections. Plus, Georgie gets all nostalgic about softball after Australia was awarded the Women's Softball World Cup Finals AND we talk about our latest documentary win (which is perfect for those who might have run out of episodes of Drive to Survive), F1 Academy. Tune in!

A crying baby at a tennis match became the subject of much discussion last week so with baby Archie joining us in the studio we decided to join in. Speaking of Archie's.....we unpack the display of emotion by Aussie abroad Archie Wilson during a Nebraska football press conference. PLUS, big footwear (parents, we need to unionise) and Georgie gets all emotional about her 10 year old netball team. Join us! 

Emma Booth was literally living out a Saddle Club dream when a car accident significantly changed her riding tragectory. From falling in love with her first horse to competing at 2 Paralympic Games, the sport of equestrian has been a constant and evolving theme in Emma's life.
